Moynihan Remembered as a Pivotal Liberal Thinker
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 76, died Wednesday leaving a legacy as a shifting force in American public life. From Tulsa birth to Lower East Side roots to Harvard, U.N. ambassador, four Senate terms, and a sharp liberal voice shaping policy debates from education to race to foreign affairs. He critiqued policy elites and urged realism about social change, while noting the enduring pull of ethnicity and family structure on national progress. His work reflected a lifelong struggle to bridge liberal ideals with pragmatic governance.

Lawrence school board votes to place tax increase on ballot
The Lawrence school board votes unanimously to let voters decide on May 9 whether to raise property taxes for higher district salaries and instructional materials. The proposal would add 4.5 mills plus a projected 1 mill increase, lifting the district levy from 43.76 to 49.26 mills for about a 12.6 percent increase. The Daily World notes registration closed and urges registered voters to turnout to defeat the high school proposition, criticizing over a thousand nonregistrants.
